Silent Night on Fire

[Verse 1] [soft] Snow falls slow on the frozen town Every window bleeds a candle down The bells stopped ringing an hour ago And I'm still kneeling in the cold [Verse 2] There's a war beneath this holy calm A quiet grave inside my open palm They tell me peace, they tell me bow your head But something's burning where the silence bled [Pre-Chorus] [build] And I won't lie down, I won't go gentle Into this white and endless dark [Chorus] [loud] Silent night, catch the flame in my hands Let it roar where the shepherds still stand Every star that they told me had died I will drag it back into the sky tonight Silent night — set it all on fire [Verse 3] The manger's empty, the church is stone But hope don't need a candle to be shown I've buried too much under frozen ground To let one more light go quietly down [Pre-Chorus] [build] So strike the match against the ice And let it climb, let it climb [Chorus] [belted] Silent night, catch the flame in my hands Let it roar where the shepherds still stand Every star that they told me had died I will drag it back into the sky tonight Silent night — set it all on fire [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] [whispered] They wanted me to grieve in the dark To fold my hands and forget the spark [loud] But I have seen the morning break the black And I swear to God I'm bringing it back [Chorus] [belted] Silent night, catch the flame in my hands Let it roar where the shepherds still stand Every star that they told me had died I will drag it back into the sky tonight [Outro] [loud] Silent night — set it all on fire Silent night — I'm not letting it die [fade-out] Let it burn, let it burn through the cold
